The forums are crap in both cases (Queenzone used to be great with the good old (intelligent) posters that are unfortunately gone now). There's nothing (content-wise) on QueenOnline and Queenzone has IMO one big advantage - the huge picture archive. Pity the photos aren't sorted much. Random file names are not much useful when I download the files to my PC.
Queenzone has a sharing community which is unique on the internet. We have a chat room that is the only Queen chat still in use, a notice board which still works miraculously and a lot of information provided by generous fans. We have fatty and John Stuart.
QOL is a professional website and therefore it's not quite fair to compare it to QZ which is a fan website and has been online for 8 years only thanks to the perseverance and dedication of Richard Orchard. Everybody who posts hundreds of nonsense messages here and makes the place less enjoyable for the rest of us should think for a moment how they destroy the work of love and a place for many fans who have had an internet home here for many years.
Oppo now lives in Wales where he trains penguins to detonate landmines for the Royal Navy.
Gordondoburstingfoam made a fortune in royalties when he copyrighted the phrase 'Stepford Fan'. He now lives on a 50,000 acre country estate and breeds monkeys for medical experiments.
Chad Hanging lives in New York where he writes short stories for children.
Eggy married Sonya last and they live in a cottage by the sea along with their 36 children and 2 dogs.
Ted works for Nescafe in the aroma quality control dept.
Marshmallow has not been seen since the day she was supposed to meet me in Edinburgh for a cup of coffee and anyone who says they saw me drugging her and dragging her into a basement is lying.
fatty.
Queenzone better than queenonline?
- goes without saying!
i occasionly read the forums at QOL - but a couple of things prevent me from posting there:
1. Their forum is divided up into too many sub sections - Serious Queen, Queen Live, fun Queen -can't be arsed deciding where my post should go.
2. Posters there have too many pictures / images which clutters up the forums. This for some reason annoys / distracts me.
3. People here on QZ seem to be more fun. although I agree this place was better a couple of years ago - I don't think I'll leave QZ.
